I don't understand what purpose handguns serve that nothing else could be used instead. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand people who feel the need to defend themselves, but if some guy tries to mug/rape you, I'd say you have better chances with mace than trying to pull a handgun out of your purse or side holster -- what if you miss? If some asshole breaks into your house, you have a much better chance of hitting him with a 12 gauge than a Colt 45. What about Virginia Tech? -- he bought his legally. And since you never hear of gang members toting around 30-06's, isn't it reasonable to assume gun violence would see a decline? Now, I'm not saying anything about banning rifles, because, I'll admit, I love to shoot -- I just don't see a need for handguns.
I mean, think about it, what purpose do they really serve?
You don't hunt with them. Hold on, let me rephrase that: you don't hunt animals with handguns -- you hunt people with handguns.
